No 6: The Examen (full liturgy)

Today it's the turn of St Ignatius as we look at Ignatian prayer and spirituality for our 'Schools of Prayer' podcast series.

St Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society of Jesus - the Jesuits - in 1540. Today there are over 18,000 priests and brothers present in more than 100 countries.

One of the 18,000 just so happens to be our current Holy Father, Pope Francis. His heart for social justice, deep prayer and inspirational teaching in some ways makes him a typical Jesuit.

So who can tell us more about St Ignatius and his teaching? How can we learn from Ignatian Spirituality to deepen our own prayer by having that personal encounter with God - that face-to-face conversation?

We visited Campion Hall in Oxford to speak to Dr Rob Marsh SJ.

Today we turn our prayerful attention to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux for our 'Schools of Prayer' podcast series.

Sr Mary Apolline from the Berdardine Cistercian community at Brownshill, Stroud gives us her reflection on the remarkable twelfth century saint and reformer and also her life as a Bernardine sister.

We start with St Bernard's Prayer to the Most Holy Name of Jesus before Sr Mary Apolline tells us about the saint's reverence for the name of Christ: 

"Saint Bernard encourages the devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus. He says: 'It is light, food and medicine... When preached to us, it is food... When we meditate upon it, it is light... When we invoke it, it is medicine that soothes our pains...'

The Glorious Mysteries

Novena To St. Jude

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus,  the Church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of difficult  cases, of things almost despaired of, Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone.
Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is  almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive  the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and  sufferings, particularly -
(lets us stay our pray request for the intersection of St Jude )
- and that I may praise  God with you and all the saints forever. I promise, O Blessed St. Jude, to be  ever mindful of this great favor granted me by God and to always honor you as  my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you.
Amen

Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
